The Nosler Ballistic Silvertip .30 Cal 168gr Bullets (Nosler part no. 51160) is a 168gr .30 Cal projectile from Nosler’s Ballistic Silvertip line. Ballistic Silvertip uses a spitzer boat-tail profile with a polymer Silvertip tip to boost the ballistic coefficient and initiate rapid, controlled expansion on game. Each box holds 50 bullets, enough .30 Cal projectiles to develop and confirm a load before a production run. It’s a good fit for hunters who want a flat-shooting, dependably expanding bullet.
